The Manufacturing & CNC program is located on the 112-acre campus of De Anza College in Cupertino, California; the heart of Silicon Valley. The program has been providing instruction since the college opened in 1967. The Manufacturing and CNC Program offers a wide variety of degrees and certificates. When completing a degree or certificate students receive broad, yet in-depth curriculum that provides a strong foundation for direct employment in local industries or transfer to a four year college. The curriculum content is guided by an advisory committee consisting of industry representatives from a wide variety of machining and manufacturing businesses.

The reputation of the program is based on diversification and “real-world” training.

De Anza has one of the most diversified collections of machine tools of any college program in the West. The curriculum includes many lecture/lab classes that will provide you with hands-on experience using computers and machine tools to perform many manufacturing processes. Classes are small—about 20-24 students, so individual help is readily available.
